I'm better than Mulli!
I liked him coming out of Kansas, but whose minutes does he take?
I would think he'd take Livers and NHD. Allows us more leeway to bring Fleming along slower.

He’s a good defender but I don’t think he’s got their girth. Those guys are kind of undersized PFs. Agbaji is a plus size sg. And realistically, where are those minutes? Livers hasn’t played in a long time and nhd isn’t exactly a rotation player. So . . . depth only?
Depth for sure. He's 6'5" and 220 with a 6'11" wingspan. I remember him being long, I thought he was taller. He's had trouble finding a role because he's not a SG like Utah tried developing him as. Not sure how he ended up in Toronto but they have a plethora of wings so maybe a case of another misfit finding a home here.
I think the 2nd round pick is more valuable. Ochai is a restricted free agent this summer so the salary implications are the same. Maybe we can flip him again or it opens up another move.

Looks like a Nick Richards trade to the Raptors is not going to happen per Gambo. I do think he is a prime candidate to be traded.

That would be tough but fair for both sides.

He would give us a legit PF to plug into next to Williams.

I probably would too, but this offense moves the ball so much better when he’s in there and hasn’t looked nearly as smooth since he got that contusion three weeks ago.

Suns' regression: Schedule, injuries or something more?
The 15-13 Phoenix Suns going in the wrong direction both statistically and record-wise is more than understandable. But what is the real reason for it?

It has been pointed out that these Suns are good at forcing turnovers but lousy at converting the turnovers to points. I wonder how they can improve on that.

I'm not sure that's accurate? Did you just read someone else's statement about it or have you actually seen some stats that supported this claim? I ask because it sure seems to me that we score a fair amount of our points by forcing turnovers - more than I'm used to seeing from the Suns.
I don't search stats very often so maybe I'm doing it wrong but from what I can tell, we are the 6th lowest scoring team in the league right now but we score the 6th most points off of turnovers. That doesn't sound like a team that fails to score effectively off of forced turnovers but maybe I'm missing something.

Jalen Green will be reevaluated again in 2-3 weeks.

Did he give any stats to support it?
